GIORGIO @ QADISHA VALLEY LEBANON ¤ ياما لا لا- لينا شاماميان Qadisha, one of the deepest and most beautiful valleys in Lebanon, is indeed a world a part. At the (More) Qadisha, one of the deepest and most beautiful valleys in Lebanon, is indeed a world a part. At the bottom of this wild steep-sided gorge runs the Qadisha River whose source is in the Qadisha Grotto at the foot of the Cedars. And above the famous Cedar grove stands Qornet el Sawda, Lebanon's highest peak.
The word Qadisha comes from a Semitic root meaning "holy" and Wadi Qadisha is the "Holy Valley." Filled with caves and rock shelters inhabited from the third millennium B.C. to the Roman period, the valley is scattered with cave chapels, hermitages and monasteries cut from rock. Since the Early Middle Ages generations of monks , hermits, ascetics and anchorites found asylum here. Even Moslem Soufis were found in this valley.
At the town of Tourza the valley divides into two branches, each named for a monastery there: Wadi Qannoubin leading to the Cedars. A path goes along the bottom of the valley through an area called "Bain an-Nahrain" (Between the Two Rivers) where Wadi Qannoubin meets Wadi Qadisha. From here trails lead to the various sites.
The Qadisha Valley area is surrounded by many important sites and villages like:
Bqaa Kafra highest village of Lebanon (1750 m), Qornet Es Sawda; the highest peak in Lebanon (3088 m), Hasroun; one of the last villages in Lebanon to preserve its traditional red-roofed houses; Qadisha grotto located between Bsharreh and the Cedars;
Deir Mar Elishaa (Monastery of St. Elieus); Deir Qannoubin built into the rock, Deir Mar Antonios Qozhaya (Monastery of St. Anthony Qozhaya), Our Lady of Hawqa's chapel, etc... and the nice village of Ehden
Magharet Qadisha was discovered by the priest John Jacob, a monk of Monastry of St. Joseph, in 1923. He was looking for the sources of Qadisha river. He followed the river up to the spring and entered the cave, but he soon ended his first cave exploration because of the low temperature in the cave. He repeated his exploration tour soon after with warmer clothes and discovered the cave.
But although he told about his discovery and the inhabitants of Bsharre knew about the cave, it took until after his death to make another exploration. Later the cave was well developed and has now easy paths and electric light.
The cave is the spring of Qadisha river, which means it is a river cave. The whole valley with its cave churches is inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List

The Kadisha Valley (also known as Qadisha Valley, Wadi Qadisha, Ouadi Qadisha, or وادي قاديشا in Arabic) lies within the Becharre and Zgharta Districts of the North Governorate of Lebanon. The valley is a deep gorge carved by the Kadisha River, also known as the Nahr Abu Ali when it reaches Tripoli. Kadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic, and the valley, sometimes called the Holy Valley, has sheltered Christian monastic communities for many centuries.En 1998, l'UNESCO a inscrit la Vallée dans la Liste du patrimoine mondial parce que c'est l'un des sites monastiques chrétiens les plus importants dans le monde[1]. Les historiens pensent que la Vallée de Qadisha a abrité des communautés monastiques d'une façon continue depuis les premières heures du christianisme. L'UNESCO considère les monastères de la Vallée de Qadisha comme les exemples les plus representatifs de la foi chrétienne première.Qadisha signifie littéralement saint en syriaque. La vallée accueille certains des plus anciens monastères chrétiens du Moyen-Orient, comme le Monastère Notre-Dame Qannoubine qui fut le siège du Patriarcat Maronite, le Monastère Mar Elisha (Saint Elisée) et le Monastère Saint Antoine Qozhaya.

وادي قاديشا من أعمق وديان لبنان، وزيارته تعني التجوال في عالم فريد قائم بذاته. ففي أعماق هذا القفر الموحش المخضوضر، يسيل نهر قاديشا الذي ينبع من مغارة تقع عند أقدام «أرز الرب» التي تُشرف عليها «القرنة السوداء»، أعلى قمم جبال لبنان.
يبدأ الوادي عند بلدة بشرّي، ويصبّ فيه عدد من الوديان الرافدة التي تجتمع مياهها فيه لتسيل باتجاه البحر، بعد أن يكون النهر قد عبر طرابلس وتحوّل فيها اسمه من نهر قاديشا إلى نهر أبي علي الذي يأتيه من اسم فخر الملك أبي علي بن عمّار، آخر قضاة أسرة حكمت طرابلس في العصر الفاطميّ عشيّة بدء الحملات الفرنجيّة المعروفة بالصليبيّة.
